Cupcake Camp Adelaide raised over $1000 by selling 400+ cupcakes baked by enthusiastic volunteers. The money is being delivered to Camp Quality this week!
Scary Thoughts
Scared about what this summer could bring? It’s possible we are just going through a freak heatwave early on in the season… But who knows.
Last year:
- In October 2008 we had no days over 35.
- November 2008 we only had one day over 35 degrees. It only got to 36.6.
- December 2008 we had NO days over 35 degrees. Woo!
- In January and February 2009 we had 8 days each over 35.
- Across the end of January and early February there were 9 days in a row over 35, with the hottest day of 2009 so far being 45.7 degrees. That night was 33.9 degrees, also the hottest night of the year.
- March only had one day of 35 degrees.
And skipping forward to the end of the year, through a winter in Adelaide with minimums that got as low as 0.1 degrees…
November 2009:
- Eight days in a row over 35 degrees.
- Nine out of the fifteen days of November so far have been over 35.
- 11 have been over 30 degrees (minimum temp of these 34.4)
AAAAND similar high temperatures are expected for the rest of summer.
The bureau predicts minimum temperatures will be well above average from November to January. Hooray! …..Not.

AFACT notices ARE ONLY allegations until they get a COURT JUDGEMENT against the person alleged to infringe copyright. ONLY THEN will the AFACT notice enable an ISP to discipline their user. Really it is so simple. An ISP is not the Copyright Holder and therefore has no interest desire or legal obligation to police copyright which is the copyright owners responsibility to police. If someone is breaching their copyright then they should be suing them and not an ISP who is merely providing a service. We do not sue the Transport Department when we have a traffic accident because they provide the road on which it happened.
— iiNet vs AFACT (user comment) and probably the most correct opinion on this ever
